Slight hijack, hope you dont mind..

Needing to get some whisky in before Christmas for any visitors that fancy a dram - the booze chest is currently whisky free. (I've never invested much time into whisky as good rum has always kept me happy!)

Any recommendations for a couple of half-decent bottles that will cover most bases & tastes?

Maybe one that's more accessible to whisky novices, then one that's complex enough for the more experienced drinkers?

glenmorangie is a smooth, easy drink to offer guests

especially if you get another bottle that has a bit more bite

Definitely a fan of whisky aged in Port casks

hmm - works for softer whiskies like speysides but I had a Talisker with port finish and it was awful. Talisker has a strong, distinctive taste which just clashed with the port finish. Glenmorangie's Quinta Rubain on the other hand....

Mortlach and Old Perth sherry finish. Both will do both jobs.

Dalmore is tasty stuff. Full, rich smooth.

Balblair is good if they like something lighter. Check with shop if it's a good year tho. I did hear that some weren't as good as others.

I quite fancy trying that Japanese one that was the first whiskey in space. Can't remember it's name / think it's a little over the budget.

Just to +1 what Coconut said, Highland Park is the answer here I fear.
